BECOMING A BARBARIAN
by Jack Donovan
Overview
This book is an anti-establishment manifesto for letting go of
The Empire of Nothing (Western civilization) with its
dysfunctional over-focus on universal moralism. Humans
are tribal creatures, and to try to see 7 billion people as “your
tribe” is irrational, and is only cultivated to serve global
commerce. Secede spiritually and create your own tribe with
other like-minded men. Become a barbarian or lose your soul.
“To say you care about one group of people more
than others is a moral sin in the modern world.”
The Fate of Men
Masculinity is about overcoming fear, gaining
confidence in abilities, and garnering the respect and
admiration of other men. Therapists talk about how the
modern male needs to be “secure in his masculinity”, yet
this is a “bourgeois fantasy”. We reach our potential
through conflict and competition, as strength is only
truly tested against risk and resistance. Loving all as
your brother is a lie that resigns you to impotence.
“Universalism destroys masculinity”; to have honor
within your group, you need an “us” and a “them”.
“Avoiding the struggle is an acceptance of defeat
and a demonstration of spiritual cowardice.”
Identity is Everything
Within any group of humans, people will forge
alliances, the weak will seek protection, and the strong
will seek fellow guardians. The brooding loner with a
collective identity is an anomaly who isn’t fully
embracing the social half of his identity. When a man
earns his place in a group of men, he doesn’t need to
“find himself” and meditate on how he is a special
snowflake; his social identity is his meaning. Yet
companies exploit this need to feel included by making
people feel connected to others with similar
entertainment preferences or purchasing patterns.
Universal Impotence
Without a tribal identity, men feel disorientation and
chaos. Modern governments and corporations have an
“Empire of Nothing”, facilitating global trade at all costs.
They encourage “moral universalism” because making
everyone feel like part of the same in-group is good for
commerce. They discourage individual identity (and
even nationalism). Men are supposed to open their
arms wider. To deny this and have any identity (racial,
religious, or sexual) is taboo, as we are meant to be
“interchangeable consumers, voters, employees.”
A billion people is an incomprehensible number. It
would take you 200 years to write a billion names. At
such scales, people see the population in terms of trends
and percentages. If you only cared about the people
with whom you actually interacted in your life, and not
the global population, you are an enemy to The Empire
and considered immoral. You are supposed to care
about oppression in a country thousands of miles away
because that makes you morally superior. But the truth
is that it only makes you “weak, vulnerable, and stupid.”
“Good, modern, civilized men are expected
to care about all of humanity.”
Humans can only maintain approximately 150-200
relationships at a given time. Religious garb is worn
specifically to identify an in-group versus out-group.
Someone screaming “Fuck the police” should not be
coddled as someone who had some “unfair racial
profiling”. It’s completely rational to assume that
someone dressed like a thug has a higher probability of
being a thug. This “humanism” is really “spiritual
surrender”, and anyone who says otherwise is a heretic
who must be destroyed and shamed as immoral.
Globalism stands against any form of separate identity.
“Moral universalism is a
poisonous, emasculating philosophy.”
